Advent 2026 Women's Reading Guide
Jesus said, ""I am the light of the world"" John 8:12. He is the light and life for all who walk in darkness. But this good news didn’t begin at the moment of His incarnation. God’s light has been shining since the very beginning, when He spoke all things into existence. Over the five weeks of this Advent reading plan, we will trace that light through Scripture—from the first glimmers of creation to the guiding presence of God among His people to the star over Bethlehem and beyond. Along the way, we’ll be reminded that we are called to reflect His light even now, as we wait with hope for the day when He comes again to be our light forever.
Join us as we look to Jesus, the Light of the World, as we make our way toward Christmas Day. There will be festive songs recipes, activities, and extra aids along the way to help you move intentionally through this season of preparation and anticipation of God’s light breaking into our world.
